This is simple flask app auto development in vagrant

Automatically deploy a simple Flask "Hello World" app in a VM using Vagrant. Serves content via Apache and mod_wsgi.

Minimal example getting started with Vagrant, Flask, Apache, and mod_wsgi. To keep things simple, the Vagrant bootstrap is a single bash script (no Salt or Ansible here), the Flask app is a simple "Hello World", and it is only tested with the bento/Ubuntu-18.04 base box.

Getting started

To start, make sure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed on your Windows, Mac, or Linux host:

• http://www.virtualbox.org/
• https://vagrantup.com

First Step (Clone The Repo)

git clone https://github.com/devozg/devVagrant.git

Once you have the source code (and you have unzipped it if you're using a release), change directory into vagrant-apache-flask-minimal, and make sure the associated Vagrant box (bentu/ubuntu-18.04) is added:

cd devozg/devVagrant
vagrant up 
# or 
vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-18.04 && vagrant up

If You be prompted for a provider. Select 2) virtualbox by typing '2' and hitting enter. (the default provider is virtualbox)

The first time you run vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-18.04 may take some time. (Note: You only need to run "vagrant box add" for a specific box the first time after installing Vagrant. You may be promted to run the command vagrant box update in the future when attempting to run vagrant up in order to keep the box up to date).

from within the vagrant-apache-flask-minimal directory. This step can take a some time the first time you run the software. The installation script will provide feedback in the console as it installs each package. Once the virtual machine has been provisioned, open a web browser on your host and navigate to:

127.0.0.1:8080

to see the minimal app running.

Terminating the service and virtual machine

If you need to stop the service, you can type:

vagrant halt

In the devozg/devVagrant directory in the console or terminal on your host machine. The next time you issue the "vagrant up" command, the VM will restart in its previous state.

If you need to delete the VM entirely, you can the the following command after halting the VM:

vagrant destroy

If you have made changes on local file (exmp. minimal/minimal.py) to refresh the vm run:

vagrant reload --provision # (Force the provisioners to run)
